    The F35's train out here in Phoenix area from Luke AFB and my house is under the flight path way out in the north desert near lake pleasent, they always fly in pairs... when the normal F16's fly or other jets, the noise isnt too bad. Then when an F22 flys over, its loud, buit when an F35 flys over, HOLY FFFFKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!! They are deafening!!!! they are SO loud (I know what plane it is by ADS-B transponders that I track and feed multiple sites) Sometimes they dont turn on transponders (FAA granted the military special exceptions), but when they do, seeing the F35 signature show up is awesome, and seeing it when they fly over, they are a BEAST of an aircraft!!!! A true marvel of engineering.

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
    The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

    Great video, watching from the UK. The other jet was British design and made under licence by the US. Plus, the F35B is operated not just the US marine Corps.

      It's American military propaganda....they're not gonna give us credit. The engine in the F-35 is a rolls royce engine.

    Aloha Sam! 🤙 Always awesome vids you put out! ✨️ Since you've done the F-35A & F-35B variants, now you need to do one about the F-35C if it will be a possible. Keep on keeping on with what you do! 😁🙌

    Very impressive aircraft and high quality video. Consider doing a video on how these pilots get their nicknames. Both Marine pilots are very knowledgeable and personable, good look for the Corps.

      It gets mentioned EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. What do you mean, doesn't get mentioned? It was innovative. Congrats Britain, take your bow. Now we can move 6 decades in the future 😂 go drink some tea and look at your crippled military capability. Y'all invent one thing (although awesome) and can't drop it. There are reasons most countries don't run VTOL aircraft anymore, they have downsides. Can't wait to hear about the Harrier for the 87th time 😂
